You're even more confused about trademarks than you are about domain names. TM's aren't exclusive and all-inclusive. Do your homework. I suggest looking over the WIPO cases where many claims of infringement by TM holders are on the losing side, because the mark alone wasn't evidence of infringement. Generic porn terms may not carry the same weight in the .XXX sTLD. Consider the guy with a TM for 'XXX' for example. Like I said, generics are a little different.
